Glen Canyon Dam Bridge

When it was completed in 1959 the bridge cut 192 miles off the trip from one side of the canyon to the other.  More important, and the reason it was built, it provided access for the workers of Glen Canyon Dam to the other side of the canyon.
Unlike Hoover Dam, the road never crossed over the dam.  We also stopped to see the new bridge that bypasses Hoover Dam, I'll show you that next week.

I'm linking this to Sunday Bridges.  Thanks to Louis at San Francisco Daily Photo for hosting this meme.
